I've seen that green avatar popping up lately, glad you've returned to the mothership.
I still enjoy using my coffee mug every day.

Congrats on chubby increase.

Thanks Yodap. That increase floored me and took me into another tax bracket. (That's success for you!)

I sold off my GTX970 video cards and ordered a 1080Ti black.
Will be the first time in a very long time I bought a new top of the line video card.
I have a couple other 980Ti that I bought used that seem to work well.
Hope to crush some GPUgris this Fall and Winter.
 
On another note, after a couple trips to the dentist, my tooth if finally feeling better.
Hope I can avoid a root canal.
100% of people who get a root canal die, I want to try to avoid that.

Congrats on the 1080ti Black, sweet.. jealous....
Good luck with your tooth
 
Maybe I need to do the same, I have 5x 970's... would be great to see them go to a good home..
 

I've never had a root canal but I'm dying (laughing).
I have a 780 and 2 970's that would love new homes. Serious crunchers need serious crunching.......things...

This weather is really getting disturbing around here anymore. (NE IL.)  High humidity, hell like heat indexes and then top it all off with severe thunderstorm warnings (DAILY) and the the possibility of tornado warnings (Wednesday I believe we had a Tornado warning)
Weather radio going off every 10 minutes........................ So far I've been lucky and all has passed without incident. Power has flickered enough to reset rigs, no I do not have back up power supplies. It has never been this "bad" for me to feel the need of having them, knock on wood I haven't lost any equipment from this weather.(now or in the past) Lost some Folding WUs and that's about it................yes I know I'm probably on borrowed time.

Giving my GPU Rigs a Break Tonight and playing around with my New EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition GAMING, 11G-P4-6393-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, iCX Cooler & LED Graphics Card.
Now what to do with my old GTX 980 Hybrids?

Going Hybrid or custom WB it/ them?

I agree!!

Swapped a Crunching/Folding rig out today to a new case and reworked the cooling loop on the CPU to tidy things up. Which started out good and turned into a nightmare when I couldn't find the new tubing I wanted to use. I found some left over tubing from another build that is supposed to be blue but looks purple.....  I was hoping for better temperatures on the GPUs, they are better but not what I was hoping for. Sooooooooo several different fan configurations and I had them as good as they were going to get for being 2/ 970s stacked on each other above a 1060 with the case sides on. Well, I didn't like the temperatures after running Collatz for about an hour soooooooooooo I took 1 970 out and will have to deal with being down a GPU until my ICX's come back from the upgrade. So for now it's done until I have to swap in the new ICX's and probably have to reconfigure the fans again! Nothing special, but it works!

 
The hose coming off the CPU is crooked and it annoys me, if it weren't for wanting to swap out the MOBO...I'd rigid tube this thing.
 

 
Might seem crazy.....but if I could find 1080 water blocks cheap......I'd put the 1060s under water.............according the the Ek configurator they are supposed to fit.

How is that Fan at an angle Mounted?

Looks like a zip tie to me.

Yes, Zip ties. The hard drive cages that go in that position have a fan mount. I take them out because they are too restrictive for the front fans. I am going to modify the drive cage so I can use that instead of the old faithful zip tie. Too hot out to be messing around, so I opted for the easy route for now.
 
Inexpensive NZXT case, I got 2 off of Amazon warehouse deals for less than $40 each.

Just liquid cooled my e5-2680 setup 
 
Put 2 arctic 120's on it. After stress testing it's only running at 50C That's basically 1/2 TJ Max, and almost 30C less than what it was air cooled!  Take that summer heat!

Nice!!! Noting better then cool and happy CPUs!!

Ah, it's like Christmas!  
1080 ti SC2.. A very expensive present, to me.. 

lol, maybe another one for my other computer. Or maybe just 2 1080's to replace the 1050 ti's. (will have to see how my bonus is this year, fingers crossed it's good)
 
BTW... The latest Nvidia drivers / The ones that have 1080 ti compatibility are not windows 10's friendly.. at least if you are like me and have never updated  I was still running ver 1507 (build 10240). It needs ver 1511 (build 10586) minimum to install the drivers.. so yeah, 8 hours later!! it's up and running..  
 
Burning through some Collatz right now @ 270 seconds!!
